File Manager: File compression to zip has no output

[divyeshsachan]

Hi,
While New->create new archive-> select .zip format ends up with message "compression has successfully finished." but it results in no output file.
Where as .tar.gz.is working fine.

Please check and confirm

Hi,

The most possible reason why this is happening is that you don't have zip command installed or it's not on the path. Try whereis zip on the CLI, what is the output? If non install zip.

It's working fine on my side.

The good point is to add a notification for the user to install zip.

Tried it?

Apologize for delayed response.
I checked, zip was not installed in my machine, after installing zip everything worked perfectly.

Now, the point is, instead of showing "compression has successfully finished." message to those users who don't have zip installed show them some error message like "zip is not installed, compression unsuccessful." or to prompt them to install zip before continuing. It'll be clear to those users who don't have zip.

Thanks :-)

Yes, I think I'll add it to my extensions.

Alright,

17.84+ will show user-friendly message, in case zip command is not installed - Example

17.84 is out. Please upgrade.
